Pause and Resume Virtual Standby Jobs from the Nodes

Virtual conversion is the process where Virtual Standby converts CA ARCserve D2D recovery points from source nodes to virtual machine data files named recovery point snapshots. In the event a source node fails, Virtual Standby uses the recovery point snapshots to power on a virtual machine for the source node.

As a best practice, allow the virtual conversion process to operate continuously. However, if you want to pause the virtual conversion process temporarily, you can do so from the Virtual Standby server. After you correct the problems on the source node, you can resume the virtual conversion process.

Note: Optionally, you can pause and resume virtual standby jobs from the Virtual Standby server. For more information, see Pause and Resume Virtual Standby Jobs from the Virtual Standby Server.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Virtual Standby and click Nodes on the Navigation bar.

    The Node screen displays.

  2. From the Groups list, click All Nodes, or click the group that contains the CA ARCserve D2D node that you want to log in to.

    The nodes list displays all nodes associated with the specified group.

  3. Browse to and click the node that you want to pause or resume and click Login D2D from the pop-up menu.

    CA ARCserve D2D opens.

  4. Click the Virtual Standby tab.

    Virtual Standby Summary screen opens.

  5. (Optional) If you logged in to a monitoring server, expand All or Server Running from the Servers list, and click the node whose virtual standby job you want to pause or resume.

    If the virtual standby job is running, Pause Virtual Standby appears in the Virtual Standby task list. If the Virtual Standby job is not running, Resume Virtual Standby appears in the Virtual Standby task list.

  6. Do one of the following:

The virtual standby job pauses or resumes.
